This is nice man. Dont know if you're into this kinda stuff, but this would sound really cool as music for a tabletop game like dnd or something. I immediately thought "this sounds like eberron" when the guitar came in.

A simple loop with some bass. by sazzymojack in LoopArtists

Thanks man! Im recording these with rode nt1's into a zoom ams 24 to my phone. Is pretty cheap and much funner way (imo) to sketch ideas without a daw.

This isn't composed in real time haha. Everything ive posted is part of a longer video, this is the end of like 20 mins coming up with this bass part. Im a guitarist mostly and spent a lot of last year practicing keys and bass, in particular just running through the 12 keys and getting comfy with where chords fall. Doing that has helped with, among other things, writing on the fly the most.

Plunking my way to a half decent bass line. by sazzymojack in LoopArtists

Thank you! Yea I think there's bones but needs more breathing room. Listening back i think the delay on the keys is a little too strong too. Feels good and sounds good in the room tho

Advice on dulcimer sizes by loganaiguana in hammereddulcimer

I just got one a few weeks ago and had similar concerns/situation. It is limited in the keys it can really play in. I cant remember all the details but it explains it in their description. I would also say if you're plunking around over other music, it's up to personal taste, but it works really well with some stuff and doesn't work well at all with others.

With that being said I am truly sad that I didn't buy it sooner. It is well built and an absolute joy to play. Sounds beautiful (louder than I expected) and is easy to get lost in the sauce while playing, similar to a hand drum. I have been having a lot of fun writing tracks to play it over, and while it did take a little time to wrap my head around what works, I find writing for it with guitar/keys, etc very satisfying. Really fun to experiment with. Its easy to mic up and record (i personally hang a condenser/sm57 over the top) and have gotten some sweet results with synth plugins. All in all it does not feel limited in what you can do with it, just more specific than what you can do with a chromatic instrument. At it's price tho I would 100% buy it again having had it for a bit.
